Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

We need to find a panel with small gaps between the diamond shapes for some of the dark grey to show through. Even the really accurate expensive jackets didn't have that which is why that would probably be hard.

The first link i posted seems to look like a good match, but its hard to determine scale.
Im thinking that a shapeway printed version could would be the way to go.

Assuming the hollow sections are the right shape and you are happy with that, you would need to pour the red colour first but don't fill the mold all the way. You then pour grey and you should get the desired effect you want.

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

Matt Munson did a video on youtube a while back where he was making a sheet of scales using a mold and some red urethane rubber. He was backing it with a sheet of black lycra or something. Ends up he didn't put enough rubber in the mold for the first time around and some of the black lycra showed through.

After seeing the final look of his "test", I'm pretty convinced that it would work really well for a McFly jacket if you used the lighting sheet as a mold. and all you would have to do is pour one batch of red urethane (or possibly silicone).

Nice tip Gary..

That's kinda where I was going to go with a test. Do a small pour of red flex 30 making sure all the bubble portions were filled using a roller or even a squeegee. Then a more generous layer of black over that which should fill in all those little roads in between. Another thread went over all of this already so what's left is to get out there and do it.

I'm thinking you can skip the black urethane entirely and just back the red with a black lyrca or something. Should give you a similar effect.

A little urethane for adhesion?

What a dream boat!:$:lol

great idea on the faux pockets! Its funny that in IRL future the kids wear their pants half way down their waists not inside out!

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

If I recall how Matt did it. He put in the red coat and then worked in the material into that layer before it set. If you set the material just right, I'd imagine it would give you the perfect redd/black effect.

I have some of this diffuser at the house, I just need to take a few minutes to mix up some Urethane Rubber and test it out with some black fabric. I could probably try and do that by the end of the week.

That would be great.

My thinking was pushing the Lycra or black cloth into it could push the red around and get similar effects of the MM trial.

But Matt says in the video that he would fix that by first pour a thin layer of urethane over the mold, and then when it had dried he would do yet another layer that he then pressed the fabric into.

LOL, yeah what is with that? I went out to dinner the other week and the young guy that waited our table seemed to have his pants way lower than they should be and that was part of his uniform :unsure

I'm no expert here, but I think you will need to make a half pour first, then lay the cloth and then finish the pour. You want (need) red urethane on the tips of the pyramids, not cloth, so that parts needs to be done first. The idea of cloth is great because you then have a reinforced rubber sheet that can be easily cut and sewn.

I came up with this in Photoshop:

here it is compared to the mats (sorry for the cheap webcam shot)

Anyone wanna try to fabric print it?

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

The bumps on the real jacket have littler bumps on the the top of them that have a little bit of red paint that wore off to reveal some of the grey.

That's what I'm saying, first make the red bumps. Let dry so you know the black channels are clear. Then some black urethane and the cloth, the black urethane will help everything adhere together.

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

This looks promising

What is the actual colour?

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build

If I were to use this 1lb of rubber, how thick would thick each sleeve section be and how much rubber would I need?

Different products do different things. Some shrink some expand some just don't work at all for your application. Do some YouTube research on casting in the medium your choosing. We can't tell you how you want it to come out. We have never cast these sleeves before. You just need to experiment I say. I have never seen that product so I can't help you there.
